23:59 lastnode   i realise this is pretty dumb to ask in a channel full of librarians, so forgive me, but what are authoriteis for exactly?
23:59 jcamins    eythian: you can't import authority *records*.
23:59 jcamins    lastnode: not if it's been working ofr you.
23:59 lastnode   is proceeding without the authors already present in the db as authorities bad practice?
23:58 lastnode   jcamins: so id need to go go back and add authorities for all the records ive already added?
23:58 eythian    I've never known it to not allow imports from Z39.50 for authorities, but I've never explicitly tried that either
23:55 lastnode   :/
23:54 jcamins    Oh well.
23:54 jcamins    Hm, that seems like a bug.
23:53 lastnode   *100 records, i realise books is a meaningless and ambiguous term
23:52 lastnode   (because we want to use fast add)
23:52 lastnode   we've added abou ta 100 books now, and this is the first authority we're ading
23:52 jcamins    I thought it wasn't supposed to let you save it unless you matched it to an existing authority.
23:51 lastnode   but the PERSO_NAME gets filled when we import data
23:51 jcamins    You need them for records you import via Z39.50, too.
23:51 lastnode   stuff we're adding manually
23:51 lastnode   so authorities aer for our own cataloging, basically
23:50 lastnode   yeah i got that much
23:50 jcamins    Authorities won't show up until the rebuild_zebra job runs.
23:50 lastnode   ok
23:50 jcamins    lastnode: you can't import authorities from Z39.50.
23:50 lastnode   and though we have imported records for harry potter from searches, it doesnt show under authority search results
23:50 lastnode   i just added Rowling, J.K as a personal name
23:49 lastnode   do PERSO_NAME authorities only store authorities we manually add, or also authorities imported from z39.50 searches?
23:48 rangi      we should help them avoid it ;)
23:48 rangi      ppl do silly things ;)
23:48 rangi      yup, id still like it if it was only on a specific db
23:47 jcamins    eythian suggested checking for the privilege, and then reporting an error if it wasn't available, so that people could decide whether they wanted to give the user replication slave privilege or not.
23:45 jcamins    rangi: I've been using my debian-sys-maint user, but the other day it occurred to me this might be an option.
23:45 eythian    but, I expect it's the case
23:45 eythian    yeah, that was my only concern
23:45 rangi      cos i wouldnt like that
23:44 jcamins    rangi: I'd have to try.
23:44 rangi      its not slave privileges system wide?
23:44 rangi      t
23:44 rangi      hmmm at first glance i cant see anything too bad about it, you can tie it to a specific db righ
23:43 lastnode   ok
23:43 eythian    I don't know. I expect not
23:43 lastnode   i just tabbed through tot tab 1, andput in the personal name
23:43 jcamins    lastnode: no, no problems.
23:43 lastnode   when i add a new authority, eythian jcamins, will going with thedefault control number koha generates cause me problems?
23:43 eythian    it's to get binlog style backups
23:43 jcamins    The ability to request the binlog.
23:43 rangi      what does having that privilege set give you?
23:42 rangi      http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/privileges-provided.html#priv_replication-slave
23:41 jcamins    rangi: but your immediate response wasn't "what a stupid idea!," so perhaps this idea has some merit.
23:41 rangi      id have to read up on the security ramifications of that
23:40 jcamins    Or make that an option during set-up, anyway.
23:40 jcamins    rangi: would it make sense to give the Koha MySQL user replication slave privileges so that the backup script could be added to Koha proper?
23:40 lastnode   ok got it. by default under fast add, only personal name is an authority value?
23:38 jcamins    Go to the home page (of the staff client), and look on the right column, near the top.
23:38 jcamins    No, under authorities.
23:38 lastnode   under authorized values?
23:38 * jcamins  stops messing with wahanui.
23:37 jcamins    lastnode: that's the idea.
23:37 lastnode   that is so there is some uniformity?
23:37 wahanui    jcamins: that doesn't look right
23:37 jcamins    or change something else
23:37 lastnode   so every author has to be added to the authoriites module
23:37 wahanui    jcamins: that doesn't look right
23:37 jcamins    or change something?
23:37 wahanui    change is quite new
23:37 jcamins    or change?
23:37 jcamins    Or?
23:37 wahanui    jcamins: that doesn't look right
23:37 jcamins    Or change BiblioAddsAuthorities in your system preferences so that you don't require every heading to have an authority in place.
23:36 eythian    but, if you're doing proper cataloguing, it's worth doing it properly
23:36 eythian    lastnode: it is possible to turn off the authority linking, if that's more useful for you.
23:36 jcamins    lastnode: you need to add them in the Authorities module.
23:34 lastnode   add to authority records? im a little confused about the concept
23:34 lastnode   oh so how can i
23:33 eythian    f00bar: because they're tied to authority records
23:33 f00bar     in the fast add framework, why are teh author fields greyed out?
23:32 jcamins    It sure is. Moving just one of those books takes all my strength.
23:32 eythian    that's a lot of effort :)
23:30 jcamins    Heh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NUC_Christmas_Tree_S_Calhoun.jpg
23:20 eythian    http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Vim <-- a couple of useful things for people using vim to write koha code
22:07 maximep    ok
22:07 rangi      lets use that for fixing any tests
22:07 huginn     04Bug 5327: enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Unit tests required for all C4 modules
22:07 rangi      http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5327
22:06 * rangi    looks
22:06 rangi      unless there is a catchall unittests bug? but i dont think so
22:06 wahanui    i already had it that way, rangi.
22:06 rangi      either is fine
22:06 rangi      or send it to me
22:06 rangi      naw, you can just send a patch for that, send it to koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org and ill push it up
22:05 maximep    yes
22:05 rangi      spacing is the only issue?
22:05 maximep    do a create a new bug for the small fix of removing whitespcae in the test ?
22:05 rangi      maximep: hmmm
22:04 rangi      not even im strict enough to force patches to apply totally clean with no hint of any merge :)
22:04 pastebot   "maximep" at 199.21.216.30 pasted "failing test" (20 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/49
22:04 rangi      and often a merge works just fine with no conflicts
22:04 rangi      will just bail
22:04 rangi      yeah without the -3 it wont try a 3 way merge
22:04 wizzyrea   :)
22:04 wizzyrea   outie, later maybe :0
22:03 wizzyrea   with bz
22:03 wizzyrea   hadn't seen that one before
22:03 * wizzyrea makes a note to do the -3 thing when bz won't let it in
21:59 rangi      night cait
21:58 cait       and wizzyrea++
21:58 cait       good night #koha :)
21:58 rangi      yay!
21:58 wizzyrea   :)
21:58 wizzyrea   works great.
21:58 wizzyrea   yep, I can sign off on that.

21:54 rangi      was an annoying bug
21:54 * wizzyrea backs it off to verify the old behavior
21:54 rangi      yay!
21:54 wizzyrea   works a treat
21:54 wizzyrea   the patch looks super good tho.
21:53 wizzyrea   that's where I got it from :)
21:53 rangi      cool
21:53 wizzyrea   ya
21:53 rangi      you noticed that git bz writes the patch to /tmp eh
21:50 wizzyrea   ya that'd be handy
21:50 rangi      ill change git bz to allow a -3 to be passed through

21:50 rangi      HA
21:50 rangi      one day when i get time
21:50 wizzyrea   ty i'll look at it and fix it
21:49 rangi      that'd do it
21:49 wizzyrea   aha there it went - I forget the -3
21:48 wizzyrea   but let me check it one more time
21:48 wizzyrea   and I probably meant that
21:48 * wizzyrea missed the does not apply status
21:48 rangi      so just checking if it was a does not apply, or a failed qa
21:48 rangi      failed qa get highlighted in my mail
21:47 wizzyrea   :)
21:47 wizzyrea   just to be sure
21:47 wizzyrea   well I will go do it again
21:47 rangi      just checking .. ill switch it to does not apply if so
21:47 rangi      and with -3 on the am eh?
21:47 wizzyrea   git am and git bz
21:47 wizzyrea   I did both
21:46 rangi      did you git bz apply that?
21:46 rangi      6576
21:46 wizzyrea   sup?
21:46 rangi      :)
21:46 wizzyrea   about 900 of them :)
21:46 rangi      wizzyrea: got a sec?
21:10 rangi      yup
21:07 wizzyrea   spose it might be nice to know that
21:07 wizzyrea   no, nothing in the modlog.
21:04 wizzyrea   gr modlog. /me considers querying directly
21:03 wizzyrea   hmm
21:02 rangi      unless it does it in the logs
21:02 rangi      dont think so
21:02 wizzyrea   but i'm not remembering
21:01 wizzyrea   is there a way to see who deleted a hold? I know the answer is "probably not"
20:54 ibeardslee and it might be in Jan again
20:53 ibeardslee yeah .. but of course numbers may make a differnce
20:53 huginn     sekjal: The operation succeeded.
20:53 sekjal     @later tell oleonard still cannot find the root of bug 6673... seems to be in the batch creation, somewhere....
20:53 rangi      but might be hard to split time effectively between them
20:53 rangi      i could do a couple on either
20:52 rangi      yeah
20:52 rangi      i was gonna do koha again, but this time more around the front end
20:52 ibeardslee that's assuming your dashboard project happens rather than the perl you had them doing last one
20:51 rangi      yup
20:51 ibeardslee if he wants perl taught, he'll need to cough up with a project
20:51 ibeardslee teaching perl will depend on the projects for the 2nd week
20:50 rangi      ibeardslee: might be perfect for the academy kids, if russ does want them to do some perl ;-)
20:49 ibeardslee ^^ ++
20:49 cait       hehe
20:49 maximep    fixing those small things would be better than reading facebook -_-
20:48 maximep    well you never know, had nothing to do the last week at work
20:48 cait       perhaps make it an adventure on chore wars ;)
20:48 cait       if you phrase it like that it's not going to happen
20:47 rangi      something ppl can do if they get bored :)
20:47 rangi      every so often i turn it to test more and fix some
20:30 cait       ok, still an impressive list already :)
20:30 rangi      cait: only for a small fraction of the code but its increasing as we fix things
20:27 maximep    going to send a little patch for it =)
20:27 maximep    well it doesn't pass for me
20:24 cait       cool
20:24 cait       we pass perl critic?
20:24 cait       oh

19:55 cait       sometims if yo have mistakes in there it stops and doesn't finish
19:55 cait       hm could be a problem with the po files too?
19:55 rangi      I think so
19:54 cait       let me take a look

19:53 oleonard   Bug 5083 is not relevant anymore, correct? Because translations are built instead of included?
19:40 cait       rangi
19:40 cait       hi rnagi
19:38 oleonard   Hi rangi
19:38 rangi      morning
19:37 cait       hmm
19:36 oleonard   "...I guess I'll take another look..."
19:36 oleonard   "That audiobook cost HOW much?!"
19:35 oleonard   Letting them know the price is incentive for them to try again to find it
19:35 cait       because that happens on another screen anyway?
19:35 cait       but wouldn't you be able to tell him that when marking it lost?
19:35 cait       hm
19:33 oleonard   Price is in there for when people say, "I lost it. How much do I need to pay?"
19:31 jcamins    Hello.
19:30 wizzyrea   hi jcamins :)
19:30 cait       hi jcamins :)
19:29 jcamins    Ah, right.
19:29 huginn     jcamins: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
19:29 jcamins    @quote get 123
19:29 * cait     hides
19:29 cait       we need to make it configurable!
19:29 cait       oh, I know
19:29 wahanui    well, probably is mate, Im not running the latest version on here.
19:29 cait       probably
19:29 wizzyrea   I am sure it's a quote 123 thign
19:28 cait       what I always wondered - do we need price in there?
19:27 * wizzyrea really needs some fresh test data.
19:27 wizzyrea   is what it looks like
19:27 wizzyrea   http://screencast.com/t/iTj5GzxrC
19:27 wizzyrea   yep
19:27 cait       this is one of the things we could hide when there is only one branch :)
19:26 cait       hm
19:26 cait       ah
19:26 wizzyrea   adding the "checked out from" column to the circ table
19:25 cait       wizzyrea: what will the libraries like? :)
19:23 wizzyrea   I suspect the libraries will like it as well
19:23 wizzyrea   i really really like that, kudos to whoever came up with the idea to show that
19:23 oleonard   I started on circulation.pl, looking at moremember.pl now
19:23 sekjal     brb
19:22 sekjal     is this for circ/circulation.pl?
19:22 sekjal     oleonard:  tablesorter worked ok on members/moremember.pl
19:22 wizzyrea   that would rule
19:22 oleonard   It's a quick fix, can I send you the revised version?
19:22 wizzyrea   can I pass it or would you rather I not?
19:21 wizzyrea   oo
19:21 oleonard   It just needs to have the tablesorter columns adjusted to accommodate the new column.
19:20 wizzyrea   but I like that!
19:20 wizzyrea   with whatever owen wants to add
19:20 wizzyrea   ah, 6887 I approve!
19:19 cait       hi liz :)
19:19 wizzyrea   hi cait
19:19 cait       hi sekjal :)
19:19 sekjal     hi, cait!
19:19 cait       hi #koha
19:18 wizzyrea   sharon wants to see it anyway
19:18 oleonard   It does need one tweak
19:18 wizzyrea   :)
19:18 wizzyrea   i'll look at it

19:18 sekjal     but if anyone would give a third set of eyes to bug 6887, I'd be appreciative.  I feel odd pushing it through with just me and nengard having looked at it
19:17 sekjal     oleonard:  okay, you don't actually have to; I've passed 6766 through QA regardless
19:15 sekjal     oleonard:  I'll look at 6766, if you look at 6887... :)
19:14 sekjal     git.k-c.org should be restored, ps
19:13 wizzyrea   ^^
19:13 sekjal     yeah, that is familiar... some kind of array shift
19:13 wizzyrea   is probably a similar issue
19:13 wizzyrea   reminds me of when we tried to nuke it using jquery
19:12 wizzyrea   *nod*
19:12 sekjal     wizzyrea:  yeah... that's wicked buggy looking behaviour
19:03 wizzyrea   is no biggie sekjal... imma fail it. (even though I want it)
19:03 sekjal     wizzyrea:  will look at that in a bit...brb

18:36 oleonard   You don't need to seek approval wahanui, we love you just the way you are.

16:41 Oak        \o
14:44 libsysguy  oh well...I know it now...here goes :)
14:44 libsysguy  gotcha...man I wish I would have known that earlier :-\
14:43 sekjal     so you could have two entries on cron, one weekly without -t, and one daily but only for ILL patrons
14:42 wahanui    okay, sekjal.
14:42 sekjal     I believe there is also a flag to indicate which patron categories to send to, as well
14:42 libsysguy  ahh
14:42 sekjal     libsysguy:  you can run the overdue_notices.pl script without the -t flag
14:40 sekjal     ah
14:40 libsysguy  it is my understanding the triggers only allow for 3 total mail outs
14:40 sekjal     I'm not really understanding why that's more desireable than running them daily, and making use of the Triggers
14:39 sekjal     libsysguy: okay...
14:39 sekjal     oleonard:  good to know... more testing may be required
14:39 libsysguy  they would get the notice once a week (email) for each week they are overdue

14:38 sekjal     print?
14:38 libsysguy  the mail outs
14:37 sekjal     libsysguy:  wait, you're talking about only running overdue notices every week?
14:37 libsysguy  and all others once a week
14:37 libsysguy  so I can run ILL overdues/fines everyday
14:36 libsysguy  overdues and fines
14:36 sekjal     libsysguy:  what notices are you looking to run differently?
14:36 libsysguy  so I can just run different scripts based on different time intervals
14:36 oleonard   sekjal: Galen's comment mentions a holds queue with "more than a couple hundred items," but I've got my list up to almost 300 without ill effects. Maybe a factor of better js performance since 2008.
14:35 libsysguy  do you think it would be worth my time to write a script to run in the cron to do email notices
14:35 libsysguy  morning sekjal
14:35 sekjal     morning, libsysguy
14:34 libsysguy  sekjal around?
14:34 Barrc      I think so, just trying to make sure.....
14:34 jcamins    Sounds like the mapping isn't set up correctly.
14:34 Barrc      If I Dumper the values to the screen I can see the subtile in the MARC data
14:34 jcamins    Hm.
14:33 Barrc      search.pl (results)
14:33 jcamins    Barrc: on which screen?
14:33 Barrc      jcamins: I am trying to find why a subtitle isn't displaying in Staff Client.
14:32 jcamins    Barrc: what are you trying to figure out?
14:31 Barrc      fucntion within.
14:31 Barrc      Anyone up on Biblio.pm, specifically GetRecordValue?
14:04 wizzyrea   well, afternoon I guess.
14:04 wizzyrea   well that did not work as intended.
14:04 wizzyrea   morning magnus_away
14:04 magnuse    hello koha
13:50 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6836 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, julian.maurice, ASSIGNED , jQuery plugin Datatables integration
13:50 oleonard   I was just testing Bug 6836 in fact
13:48 hdl        we used that with succes.
13:48 hdl        well. It is much more flexible and you can use an ajax call back
13:48 hdl        and only the data required.
13:48 oleonard   That's just a different sorting tool. Do we know whether it is more efficient?
13:48 hdl        and use some ajax to get the data out
13:47 hdl        oleonard: I think that the best thing would be to use datatables.net
13:47 sekjal     perhaps I can figure out how to put this in intranetuserjs
13:47 sekjal     hmmm
13:47 sekjal     ugh
13:47 oleonard   Just what everyone loves to code...handling of server-side sorting.
13:46 oleonard   Perhaps in conjunction with server-side sorting if the table has more.
13:45 sekjal     only adds the table sorter if a table has fewer than X entries
13:45 sekjal     what about a system preference?  TableSortLessThan?
13:45 sekjal     right
13:45 oleonard   Yeah, because the tablesorter automatically process the contents of the table upon page load, no matter where on the page the <script> block is.
13:44 sekjal     oleonard:  that's more than just putting the <script> tag at the end of the page, isn't it?
13:44 oleonard   That is: the user's click initiates the sorting process
13:43 oleonard   I have investigated in the past the possibility of triggering the tablesorter *after* page load, without success. That might be an avenue to revisit.
13:42 sekjal     oleonard:  ::sigh:: I was afraid of that
13:42 oleonard   Table sorting was added to the holds queue report on 2008-05-27 and removed again on 2008-08-18 with the above comment.
13:41 nengard    oh ?.
13:41 oleonard   "As part of this patch, commented out the JavaScript tablesorter, which could cause the browerer to lock up if the picklist contains more than a couple hundred items to pull."

10:03 kf         catalyst++
09:08 hdl        you should ask nengard when she is there.
09:08 Judit      thanks for loooking
09:08 hdl        Judit: can't find that.
09:05 Judit      any idea where
09:05 hdl        there once was some vectorized version.
09:01 Judit      i cannot find a high resolution koha logo on the website, any idea where to find one

06:56 francharb  hi all
06:48 reiveune   hello
06:44 wajasu     now to see if diacritics are printing in spline labels.
06:43 cait       koha++
06:43 cait       :)
06:42 wajasu     so no more marcxml in biblio items. and the templates are all template toolkit. neat!
06:36 wajasu     looks like success upgrading from 3.01.00.145 to 3.04.04.000  yeah!
06:29 alex_a     hi cait :)
06:28 cait       hi alex_a :) morning #koha
06:24 alex_a     hello
05:47 wajasu     greart to see the jenkins, paste, etc up.
05:47 wajasu     maybe the topic on the old irc can get set so that it says to come here. i saw people come and go occasionally looking for some help. makes you think the community is dead.
05:34 wajasu     ok
05:30 eythian    The other two are unlikely to be a problem, you may just have some dodgy dates somewhere. That said, it might pay to track it down just to be on the safe side.
05:29 eythian    The first error is nothing to worry about, I see it too. Not quite sure what's happening there.
05:28 wajasu     i'm so happy i found you guys.  i thought you all moved to the mailing lists.
05:28 wajasu     i did have 3 errors when the upgrade script ran. http://paste.koha-community.org/45
05:27 wajasu     waiting for remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl to finish.
05:26 wajasu     i'm testing against my mysqldump of my production db. ran perl 5.12.1 in perlbrew environment and cpanm installed of modules, with koha installed in single mode.
05:26 wajasu     upgrading from koha 3.01.00.145 to 3.04.04.000
05:25 wajasu     i had the path in my client and haven't been around for 5+ months.  usually upgrade koha servers in the summer.
05:24 eythian    week? I thought everyone moved months ago.
05:24 wajasu     it sure was lonely on the old server for the past week.

03:13 Brooke     manaakitanga requires bbq. Take one for the team!
03:13 * Brooke   gasps.
03:12 phlunk3    my girlfriend just moved over here but we've had no time to show her around so far, her sisters will come stay with us in January so when that happens I imagine we will do a full tour
03:12 eythian    rangi: we should take the train out for a Friday lunch some time ;)
03:12 phlunk3    might be worth a visit sometime lol. I really should learn our geography better too!
03:12 Brooke     South of Titahi Bay
03:11 rangi      other side of the harbour
03:11 eythian    phlunk3: just a bit north of Wellington
03:11 eythian    good good :)
03:11 phlunk3    proper bbq in nz is damn hard to come by :/ but, where on earth is petone?
03:10 phlunk3    thanks eyth, I fixed the permissions and all works as expected. Will do my best to ensure next time I'm bugging you I'm running the newest version ;)
03:10 rangi      heh
03:10 Brooke     yeah, I don't know if I can trust BBQ coming from a less than stout woman...
03:09 eythian    rangi: that's a very small person holding that food
03:08 * Brooke   smells a chmod in the future.
03:08 eythian    (I'm not sure why they'd be wrong, maybe something was done as root at some stage that upset things.)
03:07 eythian    They are apparently wrong
03:07 eythian    phlunk3: you should check the permissions on those directories.
03:07 * Brooke   has been brainwashed into thinking that KC stands for Koha Community in the stead of Kansas City.
03:07 Brooke     stop taunting me with your forbidden BBQ
03:06 rangi      wizzyrea: http://www.unclemikesbbq.co.nz/
03:06 eythian    oh. odd.
03:06 phlunk3    sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v -f mylibrary
03:05 eythian    how have you been rebuilding zebra?
03:05 eythian    'Permission denied' is probably the important bit
03:05 eythian    no
03:05 phlunk3    those two failed locks are on files which dont exist yet, do I manually need to create the entries?
03:04 Brooke     0/
03:04 pastebot   "Phlunk3" at 116.251.188.152 pasted "result when search for a" (33 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/44
03:01 eythian    then kill (sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common stop) it and run it from the command line and see what happens when you search for things.
03:00 phlunk3    so yeah, its running lol
03:00 phlunk3    14:59:05-20/09 d00682b6 [fatal] Zebra server already running [Resource temporarily unavailable]
02:58 eythian    also, if you run it at the command line again, it may tell you what's wrong, again.
02:57 eythian    check to see if the processes are still running
02:56 phlunk3    didn't work even after the rebuild, so no idea lol
02:50 eythian    but it can't hurt
02:50 eythian    you probably won't need to rebuild
02:47 phlunk3    cool, zebra runs :) will try rebuilding the index then I presume it should work, fingers crossed
02:43 eythian    nah, just restart koha-common
02:43 phlunk3    will apply this patch n then just restart the koha-common right? or does the whole system need to reboot?
02:40 eythian    One day...
02:40 eythian    yeah, the packages should work on Ubuntu just fine. The only missing bit was that patch which caused zebra to fail. I really ought to put the dependencies that Ubuntu lacks into the repo too to make it easier still.
02:39 phlunk3    yeah have been told things are a lot easier than in the past :) we figured it'd be easier if we just set all our installs to ubuntu so we didn't have diff bugs per installation. things have been a bit splintered here (our installs not koha) until now.
02:37 eythian    Especially package related things, as they get more use, more things get polished.
02:37 eythian    well, keep in mind that many things are being updated through the 3.4 cycle, and that updates between them should be smooth.
02:37 eythian    ah right
02:36 phlunk3    we're doing this test migration install cause of the number of upgrades needed, we upgraded to 3.4.2 a day before the 3.4.3 arrived :P so we decided to wait with upgrades till we were sure we could upgrade all servers in the same way, hence the base vm setup.
02:35 * eythian  makes a note that bugs will only be diagnosed if you're on the latest version
02:35 eythian    or just after
02:35 eythian    yeah, it went in for 3.4.3
02:34 phlunk3    Im still on 3.4.2 on this test
02:34 phlunk3    probably is mate, Im not running the latest version on here.
02:34 eythian    do you have an old version of koha-common on there?
02:34 eythian    hmm, that bug should be fixed
02:33 phlunk3    probably I need to update this vm, just wanted to use an existing one for the test.
02:32 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4873 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, robin, NEW , Debian packaging should avoid /var/run and /var/lock in the package
02:32 eythian    Bug 4873 has a patch
02:32 phlunk3    tx will try it
02:32 eythian    you'll have to mkdir /var/lock/koha and /var/run/koha
02:31 phlunk3    shall I just touch the missing file?
02:31 eythian    hang on a moment...
02:31 eythian    bother, I thought that bug had been fixed.
02:31 phlunk3    yes
02:31 eythian    are you on ubuntu?
02:30 eythian    ohh

02:29 eythian    that should manually start it, and give you a pile of debug output. A working version looks like:

02:26 phlunk3    no but it is logging it, moment will paste last few lines
02:26 eythian    does it say anything when you start it?
02:25 eythian    /var/log/koha/mylibrary/zebra-error.log possibly
02:25 phlunk3    seems like thats not starting, should it be logging the error to start anywhere?

02:21 eythian    sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common start
02:21 phlunk3    do you know the command I need to restart the zebra process?
02:21 phlunk3    ahh okay :)
02:21 eythian    they run automatically
02:20 phlunk3    yeah, the first two entries disappeared now, not sure why they were running tbh as I didn't manually call them
02:20 eythian    I don't know why that would be.
02:20 eythian    there is a rebuild going on, and the daemon command thinks it's restarted zebra, but it's not actually running.
02:19 phlunk3    will try find the command to restart the thing
02:19 eythian    you don't appear to have a zebra server running
02:18 pastebot   "Phlunk3" at 116.251.188.152 pasted "ps ax|grep zebra" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/39
02:18 phlunk3    hmmz this seems very wrong, but if you could look and confirm that it'd be great lol.
02:15 phlunk3    good point, I recall that being an issue for me once before, shall check.
02:13 eythian    that'll make sure they are.
02:13 eythian    are your zebra processes running? easy test: sudo /etc/init.d/koha-common restart
02:13 eythian    it's used for everything that's not a simple field lookup, yeah.
02:13 phlunk3    okay then I've got the error with zebra not being indexed properly I guess, zebra is also used in the frontend search right? for users and not for librarians I mean.
02:12 eythian    I usually use 'a', because almost all records have it somewhere.
02:11 phlunk3    thanks eyth that worked a treat, seems the only thing not working now is the search, is there a wildcard which we can use in the search fields of koha?
01:56 jcamins    eythian: okay, that's what I figured.
01:54 eythian    I tend to move the data to a test server and upgrade it there to make sure everything is going to be OK
01:53 eythian    jcamins: no, that would be very difficult :)
01:52 jcamins    eythian: is there any way to install two versions of the Koha package, so you can gradually upgrade instances?
01:47 eythian    (koha-upgrade-schema requires the instance name, koha-upgrade-to-3.4 doesn't)
01:46 eythian    in hindsight, I should have made upgrade-to-3.4 check the schema first.
01:46 phlunk3    thanks
01:46 eythian    and then koha-upgrade-to-3.4
01:46 eythian    phlunk3: run koha-upgrade-schema first
01:44 phlunk3    more or less just running a test case to find the quickest way for me to upgrade a lot of different koha installs to the same version and at the same time move them to a uniform vm
01:43 phlunk3    so anyway, I have imported a db from an older version into my new version, can I simply run the koha-upgrade-to-3.4 script and it will handle the database stuff? or is there something more I need to do?
01:42 phlunk3    was my bad, password issue.
01:40 ibeardslee oh
01:39 phlunk3    using mysql
01:39 ibeardslee postgres?
01:39 phlunk3    owner? I have just done this but it doesn't seem to be enough: grant all on koha_library.* to koha_user@'localhost';
01:37 ibeardslee the 'old' install could have a different owner than the 'new' one is expected to be
01:36 ibeardslee check the ownership of the database
01:34 phlunk3    yeah I meant besides connection issues, as that all seems fine. Shall try dropping db and recreating, maybe there is something wacky server side.
01:33 eythian    phlunk3: incorrect password? typo in the database name? not granted access to connect from localhost? could be many things.
01:33 jcamins    eythian: but that's how I'm dealing with my remote databases, and I realized there was no reason that it had to be a separate user.
01:32 jcamins    eythian: I'm not entirely sure what the ramifications of adding the replication slave privilege would be, either.
01:31 phlunk3    I've given the user which my library is using full access to the database required, except for grant. any reason why it would still be returning a failure to connect message?
01:29 eythian    jcamins: I'm not totally sure what the effects of that would be, but it sounds like a good approach on the surface. Bonus points if it can query its permissions first, and maybe give a warning of the correct ones don't exist.
01:29 phlunk3    tx
01:29 eythian    phlunk3: it's in the koha-conf.xml
01:27 phlunk3    hey guys, I am trying to transfer a database from another koha installation to my current install (to use the new data instead) and have ended up with the issue that koha can't connect to my newly created database, I guess I don't know what db name it is trying to access, can someone point me to the config file which holds the database settings for koha 3.4.2?
00:42 jcamins    eythian: I realized the backup script could use the Koha MySQL user if the user had replication slave privileges. What are your thoughts on giving the Koha user replication slave privileges?
00:05 eythian    it is out my window, anyway
00:05 ibeardslee only just
00:05 eythian    Which is a change really.
00:05 eythian    actually, it's sunny.
00:05 Judit1     warm
00:05 Judit1     i bet it is raining over there
00:04 Judit1     i prefer the past over the future: it is nice and worm here
00:03 Judit      :)
00:03 eythian    you're just being contrary now. That's what happens when you live in the past.
00:02 Judit      morning
00:02 eythian    it's afternoon
00:02 Judit      it is
00:02 eythian    no it isn't
00:01 Judit      morning
